Why not both

It's not that I'd rather be stoned during weather events, it's that I've never experienced that. It may very well turn out to be disorienting and distracting instead of ethereal and enhancing. That's my feel anyways. No matter what, I'll always be happy as sh!t whenever the flakes start falling and the bolts start flashing

Our atmosphere is so interconnected, it's insane.

Whatever you are on, no matter what, enjoy the snow! I have plans to do some not-so-sober stuff when the next big thunderstorm rolls around. Been a bucket list item for me for a while. A two foot overachiever of a snowstorm is also a good substitute. Just be careful if you feel the need to dive into your sea of white! I know that urge well

Notice that band of temporary warming coming out of BC into WA at the end of the 00z NAM. That's due to high cloud banding drifting overhead. I've seen similar sfc temp responses with local weather stations in identical situations. We shitt on our modeling a lot but we forget that these are highly sophisticated algorithms and their simulations hold surprising amounts of fidelity and information. Pretty incredible our computing is so good as to pick up on such a subtle feature.

ehhhh the CMC is probably underdoing that transitional stuff. plus it displaces it south into a slider system for OR

@Phishy Wx I think someone took our advice

Canadian is a Dec 1968 redux, verbatim

GFS looks lost, but it wants to do something good.

Finger of east winds kept it at 8.5" in the NE corner of the city. Just down at UW it was closer to 10.5". But my god, were the winds worth it. A stiff ESE gale made for one of the most perplexing storms I've ever witnessed here. Usually easterlies are blocked in my neighborhood but the gradients were so powerful the current sunk down and overcame the local terrain. Snow was blowing everywhere and sticking to the sides of houses, much like the two BC slider systems during February 2019. Didn't get anything quite like that anywhere to the south. And besides, it's not like I'm gonna turn down an 8.5" snowstorm; even with the reduction in totals, it's still the largest single snowfall event I've ever had at my place.

Meanwhile, in a different Kent...

How does the 12z EPS compare to its 00z run last night?

Massive overperforming snow event underway for you... Enjoy it!

You can also order Mimosa bark and Syrian Rue legally to have the same wacky adventure in the comfort of your own home lmao

Pseezuhnall pten-den-psee to keep blocking episodes for longer and push out meridional flow.

Glad it's not a problem on my end.

A good direction to go in. Let's see the EPS... Holding my celebration until I see it reciprocate its operational run.

Pivotal just doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

Trend this season to spill digging Arctic troughs to the west. I did wonder for a while if that would end up working in our favor eventually

Got Dark Side of the Moon and a couple Pivotal tabs open playing to send me into the day right. Morning 'yall

Roommate is the same way, sober as a whistle on his own volition. Maybe he's scared of drugs. Regardless, he's a health nut/hypochondriac type who isn't comfortable with the idea of being inebriated in any way or shape. Guess some people are built different. Not for everyone I suppose.

Bad GFS run. Fortunately it's against the EPS

And it's not even remotely done at the end. A true weenie special. I think we'd all be okay with a decade of duds after that.

I feel insecure after seeing something so beautiful

Feast your stupid little eyes...
